We want you to enjoy your time on the farm as much as we do, but we know everyone’s idea of relaxation is different. That’s why we help you tailor your experience to your exact tastes. We’ll provide you with a hearty, natural meal every morning to set you up for that day. And after that, just do what you feel!
Start the day with a nutritious smoothie in the sunshine, followed by yoga on the terrace looking out to the Pyrenees. Detox and invigorate your body in our sauna and hot and cold plunge pools, or reconnect with nature with a mindful stroll amongst the lavender and the walnut trees as you overlook the stunning Gers valley.
Explore the local countryside or venture into the picture perfect local towns and villages such as La Romieu or Lectoure. Should you wish to explore further afield, we have suggested walks and bike routes. If that’s still not enough to get your heart pumping, how about getting a birds eye view of Lectoure from a hot air balloon?
Head to the farmers market in Lectoure and enjoy some local delicacies in the town, or go foraging around the nearby fields. Eat at one of Kirk and Keeley’s favourite local restaurants… our friends at Hotel de Bastard have kindly prepared a vegan set menu especially for our guests! Alternatively, throw on an apron and cook something yourself back at the farm!
Enjoy a lie in followed by a nutritious and hearty brunch then spend some time reading a book on the terrace. Maybe a refreshing dip in the pool or a leisurely stroll to wake up the senses before relaxing into an indulgent massage, or melting into the hot tub and enjoying the view. End the day with a glass of delicious, locally sourced wine and a sunset… what’s not to like?
Arrange a car to take you on a curated wine tour of Le Gers. See the area, absorb the aesthetic, and visit two beautiful chateaux on a guided wine and tasting tour. Dine out in the charming town of Nerac only 30 mins away, or take a trip to Bordeaux and drink in the architecture with some world beating reds.
The farm is nestled in the heart of the French countryside outside the spa town of Lectoure, equidistant to both Bordeaux and Toulouse Airports (transfers can be arranged).

Balance is at the heart of everything at Plates, and perhaps no more so than on our farm.
Our unique offering balances a seasonal connection to local, organic food with the deep relaxation and escapism that only nature can offer.
From nights out in the local community, to yoga on our beautiful terrace, helping in our growing gardens and enjoying regular saunas and ice baths – that’s balance.
Food is central to any farm, of course.
But here the connection is even deeper.
The farm is also home to a communal cooking space, where guests can cook and take over Kirk’s new development kitchen.
All rates include breakfast/brunch each day, as well as two evening meals across the week.
We also have connections with carefully selected local restaurants who have kindly prepared plant-based menus exclusively for our Plates community.
The Plates Farm has been completely and sympathetically renovated by local artisans with support from respected London-based design studio, Design & That, who oversaw our London restaurant design.
The farm provides the perfect respite with seven air conditioned luxury bedrooms, each with en suite bathroom, as well as an outdoor pool, 3 plunge pools, hot tubs, e-bikes, gym and sauna.
The communal cooking and dining space provides the opportunity to connect with others, but if solitude is the order of the day, there are acres of land to wander, cosy nooks and private spaces to unwind in.
The whole place is for you to enjoy.
If you have a special occasion that requires multiple rooms, we are happy for you to take over the entire property for your own private experience. The farm is available for group bookings and events on request (sleeping 15 in 7 bedrooms).
Price per week for July: £11,000; August: £12,500. Full private hire of the farm runs from Saturday to Saturday.
